A nice simple replacement of a door entry system.
What could go wrong?
Well first of all the replacement was cheap Polish s*it with badly translated instructions for a different model to the one that I was installing and it was expecting a fail safe lock not a mag lock. That is easily sorted with a Handy Little Relay.
Now the real problem was getting the handset in the office to work.
Me (to secretary) "I am now going to test the handset if you have the time" Secretary "OK"
45 minutes later after altering the jumper settings on the phone about
10 times and still getting no response I asked her
"Has the phone made any sound at all?"
She replied "Well it rings when you press the button outside"
FFS and she is allowed to drive a car and have children.
